Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, offer nutritional benefits that should not be passed up. They have a delicately sweet and chewy texture. Although the shells are quite edible, some prefer the varieties without shells. Native Americans were among the first to notice the health benefits of pumpkin seeds. They referred to them as cucurbita and used them to treat kidney problems and to eliminate parasites from the intestines.
